Dear everybody that has an interest in welcoming and guiding new users on the steem-platforms and run a "spam bot" that repeats itself every day with information from you or your community!
Info-bots has been a debate on STEEM since @wang from the early days, but what if we allowed ALL communities and services to inform "the hell" out of new users on their first post?
The reason I am thinking about this is that we have a lot of guilds with good information and good steem cleaners and cheater detectors on STEEM, and if we could concentrate all that information on the new user's first post, all voices about important do/do not etc on the STEEM blockchain.
If it can be concentrated on the 1st and only the 1st post of new users I think that can be valuable, push the information on new users instead of them finding out everything the hard way.
Well informed new users can lead to a much better STEEM experience for everyone in the future!
Earning funds on bots that comment on a user's very first post may not be very profitable for the bot-user, let us imagine @curie, @cheetah, @steemcleaners, @toiletscrubbers, @berniesanders, @buildawhale, @trails, etc.... One Info-post PUSHED on the NEW USERS like direct marketing, like that SMS you get on your phone when you drive into another jurisdiction or another country.
Preventing bad starts for new users, helping them in the right way!
User Retention is good for everyone, the people who follow you, you would like them to be online when you post, yes? or more people joining, getting information from many communities with different agendas in order to stop plagiarism, hate-speech, comment begging, and many other things that people get irritated about around here.
Do not upvote users first post just because it is its first post, allow that to be space for as much information from the community as possible
Of course it is nice to upvote new users, but wait with that until post #2, because on post #2 they have already been adviced, warned and suggested all kinds of great things from the community, and are more equipped to make original content from the beginning, networking with other steemians and being invited where invitations are due.
New users are like STEEM-babies, we have a responsibility to grow them into adults the best way we can!
So I want to ask if you are on board with this idea, if this can make a difference allowing YOU and YOU and YOU and THEM and HIM and HER to give new users pieces of advice, pushing specialized content towards them in order to make a better future for everyone on STEEM.
What do you think?
Sincerely,
@fyrstikken
